Hi,
I have my email program working on my main development system - Windows 
XP - where I have Outlook Express running, I haven't even configured 
Outlook 2000.  I am using CDOSYS.dll to blast emails when necessary - it 
works very nice.  On my other system I have Windows 2000 - also only 
Outlook Express configured and running - Outlook 2000 is not configured 
at all (by this I mean if I click on Programs/Microsoft Outlook the 
Outlook 2000 Startup wizard comes up - I've never had a need to use it - 
yet! might need to now).  I got my program to work on the Windows 2000 
system also, using the CDOSYS.dll.

Here's the problem - our Lead Programmer (my boss) - is running Windows 
2000 and I believe just MS Outlook 2000 - she tries to run my code and 
it blows up at the  myCDOobject.SEND - with an error message of "Send 
Using Configuration value invalid - Error #-214720960.

From what I've been able to gather, I believe the problem is Microsoft 
Outlook needs to be in a Corporate or Workgroup mode (CW) versus an 
Internet Mail Only (IMO) mode.

1) I admit I am not up to speed on Microsoft Outlook 2000 vs Outlook 
Express - which is the latest? what's better? or do they work 
inconjunction?
2) Has anyone experienced this problem/situation before?  If my eventual 
user doesn't have Outlook Express and is using only MS Outlook, do I 
need to do a more detailed setup for cdosys to get it work - like 
setting up a session, logging on using some profile the user has set up 
- "exchange profile", etc...

TIA for any ideas/thoughts

Jack
